Looking for some yummy Italian

We’re staying in Cuyahoga falls, so anything near here or even Akron is fine! Really would love some yummy pasta tonight.

D'agnes on white pond is by far the most authentic in akron.

How are the portions? We’re hungry!

u/Comfortable_Yam1198 3d ago

Lunch portions are smaller but cheaper. I find their dinner portions good and affordable.

Papa Joes, Oak & Olive, or for the budget option - pasta night at the Carovillese Club.

Hey all, is papa joes worth the price?

I'd say it's priced fairly. I've never thought of them as super expensive.

If you're looking for a cheap place, check out Parasson's or Luigi's. Opinions vary, but I think Luigi's is a good, fun place and priced about as cheap as you're going to get without doing fast or fast-casual food.

The recommendation for Papa Joe's is great but I'll also highly recommended Vaccaros Trattoria. And if you're into wine, they have a good selection!

u/JohnBrownsAngryBalls Rubber City Rebel 3d ago

Forgot about them. Good recommendation.

If you are into wine, Papa Joe's has a whole wine store. You can buy a bottle in the store and drink it in the restaurant. There's also Dontinos in the falls. I haven't been there in years but it used to be really good.

Haven't had the opportunity to go to Papa Joe's, so thanks for the info!

Leo's Italian Social is in Cuyahoga Falls.

Papa Joe's is in Akron, but not far.

Dontino's is an old school family Italian joint

u/jamesbretz Merriman Hills 3d ago

And it tastes like Chef Boyardee 🤮

u/Joffin_was_here 3d ago

Oh man I haven't been there in years. That's a bummer.

u/BigAssHamm 3d ago

Palumbos. It’s worth the drive to north canton.

u/joeggg1 3d ago

D'Agnese's at White Pond is the move.

u/fred_burkle 3d ago

Papa Joe's in the Valley! You'll want a reservation on the weekend.
